Will the price of lasik eye surgery go down in the near future?

I was thinking of getting the lasik eye surgery, but the cost is keeping me down.
I have myopia with -4.5d. Last time I checked the cost for costumvue lasik surgery was around $ 3,800 for both eyes.
I live in DC metro area. Thanks

Nothing else in our society is getting cheaper these days and as you know, the cost of living (and doctor's expenses-- staff, cost of laser, maintenance fee for the laser, royalty for the laser manufacturer every time the laser is used, rent will not be coming down anytime soon). I would not trust my eyes to a bargain basement dr. who flies in from out of town, does dozens of surgeries and then comes back in weeks. You need an established surgeon who isn't going to move out of town next month. Remember, LASIK is surgery. Not blood and guts surgery. But still surgery.

Is lasik surgery price per eye?

Usually, yes. you should assume it is per eye unless otherwise specified.

What justifies the wide price range differences in laser vision correction (lasik) surgery?

I was quoted $999 from someone with a pretty good deal of experience but have seen prices to $5000 for a friend of mine. And in a related topic, is the all laser version better, worse or roughly the same as having the eye incision made by blade?

Usually private doctors/centers will charge a higher rate than say a large corporation. Some places will offer a package deal where others may have a separate fee for preop, post op, surgery and other things such as punctal plugs and what not. Usually the biggest difference in cost is technology. Intralase ( blade less is more expensive, it has benefits such as taking away less corneal tissue and reduces risks associated with creating the flap ( thus, no blade) There have been studies that say intralase can cause photophobia, ( extreme sensitivity to light) I have worked for a laser center that uses intralase 98% of the time and I have never heard off a complaint like that other than the usual sensitivity that is normal while healing from the entire procedure. I personally had the keratome ( bladed) used for my eyes and didn't have a problem ( only because at the time that was my only option) if intralase was available at the center I went to I probably would have went with that.

Hope I helped

What is a low and high price for Lasik eye surgery?

My R.X is -1.00 in both eyes with no cyl and no axis

Price depends on
*experience of the surgeon
*type of technology used (laser)
*method of flap creation (blade vs. intralase)
and at some places,
*prescription

At the center I work at, fees start at $860/eye to $2900/eye..all dependent on the things mentioned above.

You would still need to have a consultation at any center so other measurements can be taken to determine safest surgery for you.

Lasik surgery half price buy one get one free. I live in NJ and need a partner. We each pay half of 5,500.?

I think its buy one eye get one free, u usually pay for each eye.
